Maule M-9

Overview

• The M–9 comes closest of any Maule of being a clean sheet design. It has a long-sought 300-pound increase in gross weight—actually a 280-pound increase if you subtract the wing stiffeners, thicker wing ribs, and thicker landing gear that were required for the new weight. It also carries 85 gallons of usable fuel. This five-seat tailwheel aircraft with side-by-side seating has a maximum gross weight of 2,800 pounds, the heaviest Maule ever certified on wheels.
